Neighbour's chestnut damaged your car — can you claim compensation?

Parking near the boundary of a private property with a tree can trigger a legal dispute when a falling branch or chestnut damages a vehicle.

If the tree was poorly maintained or diseased, the owner may be liable for damages under the Polish Civil Code.
